10、可以确保不漏点。本文的摘要要把全文第一句作为一个要点,因为它是全文的逻辑起点。在确定表达要点后要思考如何准确灵活表达,这是难点。因为评分标准要求完全使用自己的语言。灵活表达的重要技巧是对原来的语言进行同义替换(paraphrase),同时要对相关内容进行整合。要点1的表达已经很清楚,因此需要进行同义替换。要点2是介绍Lucido的新书,因此我们应该对该书的卖点进行概括介绍。要点3和要点4全面介绍Lucido的涂色书事业及顾客反响,可以整合在一起表达。参考范文 Trina Lucido is the creator of adult coloring books, whose inspirati

14、. 其实是作者涂色书的独具一格以及良好读者反响产生的结果,因此根据其逻辑关系整合在了一个句子中,并用which in return leads to her careers boom进行概括。提炼归纳1. 语义转换语义转换是新题型概要写作中很重要的一项基本技能,因为评价标准对“使用自己的语言进行观点的独立表达”有较高的要求。语义转换可以是简单的单词替换,同义短语替换,词性转换,也可以是句型转换。如要点1中使用的方法是词性转换,原文中用的是动词create,范文中用名词the creator进行了替换。范文中whose inspirations stem from daily life替换了原文
15、中的inspirations are all around her,此处属于句式转换。要点2用aiming at encouraging peoples creativity代替了The idea behind this book is a big idea which to encourage people to be creative,也是属于句式替换。句式转换还包括把要点4的原句There is strong demand for adult coloring books用Her coloring books are growing in popularity now替换。通过不同方式的
16、语义替换可以避免重复原文内容,使范文表达更加多样化。2. 要点整合为了达到概要写作规定的字数,在准确梳理原文要点的基础上,我们需要对原文的观点进行必要的整合,可以帮助我们更简洁、有效地表达。范文的呈现就是一个很好的例子。第一句是介绍人,第二句介绍书,第三句介绍其事业发展现状并展望未来。其中,第三句对要点3和要点4进行了合理的整合,使句子的表达更加简洁,结构更加具有逻辑性。要点3是作者涂色书在读者中的良好反响,要点4是作者的涂色书事业大有潜力,两者具备因果关系,因此范文根据其内在逻辑进行了整合。【写作演练】1.阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。In our modern wor
